Yes you’ve read it right, Manchester united have taken the lead against Chelsea against all odds in the ongoing Premier League encounter between the two heavyweights of the Premier League. Jadon Sancho pounced on a massive error from Jorginho to score the opening goal for the Reds.
Jorginho who is one of the nominees for the Ballon d’Or award to be awarded on the 29th of November lost possession in a terrible position to concede an easy opening goal for Thomas Tuchel’s dominant Chelsea.

Chelsea had started the match as the much better side and apart from their finishing looked the obvious choice to score, however as things would have it United have scored the first from a quick counter attacking move in the 50th minute of the match.
It all started from a Chelsea corner, which was cleared away long by the United defenders and it reached Jorginho, the only man inside the Chelsea half while the others had marched forward to attack the set piece. The ball reached him, while Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford hared in on him to apply pressure on the Italian midfielder.
The move paid off, as Jorginho’s touch was too heavy and Sancho easily latched onto the ball to break in free on goal. Despite having Rashford as partner in attack, the youngster chose to take the shot first time and scored expertly to get his second consecutive goal in Manchester United colours.
